Seacoast Astrological Association Meeting
Registration: 6:30 pm; Lecture: 7pm
Comfort Inn
Portsmouth Traffic Circle
Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Cost: $10 walk-in; Free to members

"Moon Tides, Soul Passages: Progressed Lunar Phases"
A colorful Power Point presentation with main focus on each of the eight
lunar phases, as first defined by Dane Rudhyar: New, Crescent, First Quarter,
Gibbous, Full, Disseminating, Last Quarter, Balsamic. With the visual
enhancement of art and photographs, and correlation with the eight ancient
holidays of the seasonal cycle that are forerunners to our modern holidays,
you'll gain an intuitive understanding of the developmental theme for each
of the eight lunar phases. We'll then look at Lifetime Lunar Phase reports, run
from the Moon Tides software, for a few publick figures, as demonstration of
how the natal lunar phases enhance our understanding of self, and how over
the course of a lifetime, we express each of the eight phases as our Moon
passes through them in secondard progression, a complete phase cycle for each
approximately 29-30 years of life.

Moon Tides, Soul Passages: From Theory to Practice
In this workshop, following an opening review of the basic themes of Moon by sign
and phase, we'll build on the material presented in the October 10 lecture by the
sharing of our own thoughts and experiences of our natal lunar phase and our
progressed lunar phase cycles. Each person planning to attend is encourages to
submit his or her own birth data at the time of registration. (Alternatively, you
may submit data for someone else, if you have that person's permission and know
him or her well enough to give feedback during class discussion.

Astro Computing Services
Complete astrological service for charts and calculations.

The past year has been an intensely busy one, in re-establishing the Astro Computing Services in new offices in New Hampshire, and in also adding ACS Publications to my previously very small Starcrafts Publishing enterprise. This website has admittedly been neglected in the process. I've managed to keep up with the Magical Moon column and change the art on the home page monthly, but that's about it. If you've followed the links to the ACS websites, you've seen more changes there, though more updatng still needs to be done.

Astro Computing Services has an extensive list of astrological charts, calculation and interpreted reports that you can order for yourself or for anyone for whom you have birth data. We also have software, calendars, astrology books and software. If you haven't yet visited www.astrocom.com, please do! You'll find an "opt-in" link there, if you'd like to be on our mailing list for a once-per-month newsletter that notifies of sales and often has an article of interest.

On our website you'll find an online order process that walks you though secure ordering. For most computerized reports you need birth data, so be prepared with birth date (month, day, year), time (be sure to add am or pm) and location (city, state, country if other than USA) for each person for whom you want to order.

Mail can be directed to either our physical address at 334 Calef Highway, Epping, NH 03042 or to the Starcrafts LLC post office box: PO Box 446, Exeter, NH 03833.

My two great employees, Tom and Simonne, take orders daily, Monday through Friday, for Astro's huge variety of astrological calculations, interpreted reports, software and books.

Orders come in by email, mail and phone. We have a 24-hour 800 order line, for your convenience in calling in orders at any time, day or night. If you use that method, we'd greatly appreciate your leaving your order with a clear voice mail message: name, address, phone number, product, and birth data, if required. If we have any questions we need to clarify before promptly processing your order, we will call you. Here's the number:

1-866-953-8458

Orders are printed, attractively bound if you've ordered interpreted reports, and normally mailed out to you within the same day ordered. Alternatively, can choose to have your calculation or reports orders emailed to you in PDF format, and in this case (during business hours) you can receive your order very shortly after you place it.

Meanwhile, I have been mostly occupied with book production—getting valuable ACS books updated and back into print in new editions. And, this is primarily why I've not been changing this website as much or as often as it needs to be. Eventually, we'll be integrating them more, and this one will likely be just for articles and information, with astrocom.com the store site.

Thank you,
Maria
